This white grape variety (breeding number Alzey 10378) is a new cross between Muscat d’Eisenstadt (Ingram’s Muscat) and Müller-Thurgau.DNA analyses carried out in 2013 revealed that the parentage of Luglienga Bianca × Gamay, as stated in the breeding register, was incorrect. The cross was made in 1929 in Germany by Georg Scheu (1879–1949) in Alzey, Rheinhessen. The name was chosen to honour Georg Scheu’s long-standing colleague, Anne-Marie Regner (1911–1999), who worked at the vine breeding institute in Alzey for many decades.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
